BEAUTY | My Ombre Hair

ivania carpio van osch

It took me nearly a year (my hair grows so slowly)to grow out my blonde hair to this point where I can finally call it ombre hair. But I still get a lot of strange reactions when I tell people I actually like my dark roots after their advice to visit a hairdresser to re-dye my hair.

I have something similar going on at the moment, only inverted - lighter roots - black hair. Was considering a trip to the salon to fix that, but after seeing these photos I've had a change of heart on the matter.

I think it would look so much better if you didn't have the ends bleach blond. Your roots are too dark so it doesn't blend nice. I bet if you dyed them to maybe 2 shades darker or so it would look more natural. The way it was intended.

In the US this is a hot look! People would never believe you didn't have it dyed this way intentionally. I got it done a few weeks ago (not planned, I just told the girl to do what she wanted because I needed a change and she apparently wanted to practice this because people are asking for it). Love it, best of both worlds and no maintenance!

I had the same 'problem'. My hair tips were blonde like yours, and so many people told me to go to the hairdresser to re-dye it because most of them were thinking it doesn't look good. But I like my hair, and I'm not very interestet in what all the others think about it. (:
